#2 In my mother’s final years she went to icu several times. When I sat with her it wasn’t unusual to see a body rolled out. A lot of people died in icu long before c19.
Ruiz May be new to the job.

#4 Huge respect for the nurses and staff at an ICU, having to deal daily with gravely ill patients and the concomitant deaths.

But #3 is spot on. The hospital is in Miami and this article, along with all the other sniping at how DeSantis and Florida are dealing with Corona, crowds, and reopening, is another drop in the drip drip drip ... keeping Florida voters - especially retired and elderly voters - on edge and to impel them and keep them motivated to vote Biden because someone somewhere somehow has to do something about all the Florida death.

The lack of MSM criticism of Cuomo in NY trickles down to benefit the Dems in Florida. NY retirees in Florida are kept uninformed about the bullet they dodged by getting out of NY. Many still have their NY politics intact during the move South. Biden is going to win NY, but Florida is the perennial quadrennial battleground. Those FL voters need to be motivated, by fear if necessary, to vote for Biden/Harris. This article certainly checks that box.

Well, DUH, you do work in a hospital, correct?
